About the DS200PCCAG5
The DS200PCCAG5 is a General Electric Drive System Power Board. It is no longer being supported by GE and may be a little difficult to locate. AX Control still tries to keep this card in stock. This DS200PCCAG5 printed circuit board product offering is no longer supported by General Electric as it was discontinued due to obsolescence in one of the many years following its initial release, and exists as a member of a General Electric legacy product series. This DS200PCCAG5 printed circuit board product or PCB for short belongs to General Electric's Mark V Turbine Control System Legacy Series, to be specific. The Mark V Series, as evidenced through the just-mentioned extended series name, has specific applications in the control and management systems of compatible and popular steam, wind, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies. This DS200PCCAG5 PCB's greater Mark V Series, while an obsolete legacy GE series, is still considered highly-sought as it exists as one of the final General Electric Mark product series to make use of the brand's patented Speedtronic control system technology first introduced alongside the release of the Mark I Series in the mid to late 1960s. This DS200PCCAG5 device actually exists as the originally-developed product of its specific Mark V Turbine Control System Series functionality, as proven through its DS200PCCAG5 functional product number's notable absence of any revision-indicating trailing digits.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS200PCCAG5 is also known as a Power Connect Card (PCCA). It is a replacement board for a PCCA that comes standard in a DS200 drive. This board is capable of interfacing with a SCR power bridge and the control circuitry on its drive. When it interfaces with the power bridge, it can then use its pulse transformers to affect the gate drive going to the SCR. In terms of this DS200PCCAG5 Mark V Series product offering's voltage regulations, this DS200PCCAG5 product's voltage suppression strategy is similar to most Mark V Series products; it makes use of various styles of voltage-limiting and suppressing hardware components including different styles of rectifiers, capacitors, diodes, and integrated circuits. This DS200PCCAG5 printed circuit board's base circuit board is relatively component-bare compared to most other Mark V Turbine Control System Series product offerings, which means that this DS200PCCAG5 PCB exists as a pretty fragile General Electric device. As no sturdy metal mounting faceplate has been attached to this DS200PCCAG5 product offering, it can be assumed that each of its four base circuit board corners has been factory-drilled to support convenient and safe DS200PCCAG5 Board mounting outside of the typical Mark V Series VME Rack mounting assembly. Each of these mentioned factory-drilled holes should be ringed with an insulated material in observance of potentially-damaging DS200PCCAG5 Board surface voltages that may exist in its external assembly for up to a minute after powering off the DS200PCCAG5 PCB's Mark V Series automated drive assembly; which would be done to attempt an installation or replacement.
When PCCA boards are used with a relatively low HP controller, it has the capacity to use its snubber circuits to control power spikes. Some of the snubber circuits are actually sometimes not included on the PCCA on the higher HP controllers and are included somewhere else within the system. This particular type of PCCA is a version that does not include any snubbers and it does not have an attenuation string. It uses a DCFB power supply board and is used in frames J, K, and M. It has Leg fuses and reactors. It also uses a separate or common bus transformer. The hardware on the DS200PCCAG5 includes four jumpers that can be configured and wiring plug connectors. The wire jumpers are labeled JP1, JP2, WP3, and WP4. This board should be mounted behind the drive control on the back of the board carrier. There are six plastic snaps that are keeping this board connected to the board carrier. The above information is primarily reminiscent of a visual inspection of the DS200PCCAG5 Power Connect Card itself, as this DS200PCCAG5 product's Mark V Legacy Series attribution ensures a lack of pertinent instructional documentation online. With this in mind, the DS200PCCAG5 functional product number itself can be considered a primary source of DS200PCCAG5 Board hardware details, coding for various details in a series of consecutive functional naming chunks. For example, the DS200PCCAG5 functional product number begins with the DS200 series tag describing this DS200PCCAG5 PCB's domestic manufacture location and normal Mark V Series assembly version. Some of the other details revealed through analysis of the DS200PCCAG5 functional product number include this DS200PCCAG5 PCB's:
- PCCA functional product abbreviation
- Group Five Mark V Series product grouping
- Lack of any functionality or artwork-altering revisions
